It was known that the said patient was rushed to the center after he had a heart attack at home. The case was considered the first ever case received by Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Al-Qassim after its implementation of the rapid intervention program for the treatment of heart attacks. The center, in partnership with the Saudi Red Crescent Authority works hand in hand in diagnosing suspected cases outside the hospital premises. The emergency team from the Saudi Red Crescent Authority performed the patient's ECG before bringing him out to the hospital. After which, the PSCCQ medical team responsibly received the patient and urgently worked on the needed cardiac catheterization. With all praises and glory to the Almighty Allah, His Divine Providence helped a lot in the successful turnout of the intervention.

This prompted the medical team to give all their best in order to save the patient's life. They never wasted any single second to apply the best possible treatment. Nonetheless, the record time did not exceed 70 minutes. It counts from the moment the patient's condition was directed from his home until its cardiac catheterization. After ensuring the stability of the patient's condition, he was advised for release. Proud to say, his stay at the hospital did not consumed the entire 24 hours.
